  2. Lane wouldn’t last a week on Broadway before making a news event with some 21 year old Vandy student

    Oxford PD protecting his ass. Just like Gainesville with Urban Meyer.

  3. Was going to edit my other comment, but I’ll say it again fuck no. Honestly, if we got Kiffin as HC I would stop being a fan.

  4. For fucks sake absolutely not.

    Kubiak, McCarthy, or Saleh. Not this fucking mess.

    If they’re interested in talking to him that’s fine. I’m very interested in getting a trillion dollars deposited directly into my bank account but it won’t be an issue unless I actually try to do it.

  6. The hire in and of itself wouldn’t be bad. The reaction to it would be cataclysmic.

    Considering what he’s getting paid at Oxford, and what he’s built there, there’s zero reason for him to do anything but look at the caller ID and reject the call. He can float in and around the playoff for 20 more years, or he can go to an abysmal NFL team where he’ll probably be canned in under 3.

  8. Hahahahahah these people are complete idiots. Anytime you think they’ve maybe turned the corner finally this shit comes out. Lane great OC, Lane not a culture guy. You need the culture and a guy to put the input into not having bums like Sneed come here. Not to bring up Vrabel again but you had the culture guy. We need a clone of him with a Kiffin like OC. Quiet meticulously planning the attack

  9. I’ve got a soft spot for Lane. He’d be fun. And he’s great with QBs.  He grew up around the league, but not sure he’d be successful.   

  10. Hiring one of the most hated coaches in TN history as the Titans coach is definitely on brand this tone deaf franchise.

  11. What’s wrong with the Lane Train? Clearly knows how to coach offense and doesn’t seem like one of those strong armed college coaches that wouldn’t fit in the league. Not sure we can hold his failure with the Raiders at 31 years old against him

  12. I want them to do it. Not because it will be good for the team or franchise, but because it’s just so on brand for this organization and I just want to be entertained at this point. I don’t even care about success on the field anymore, I’m here for the drama.

  13. YESSSSSS LETS GOOOO. Anyone who disagrees wants this franchise to remain in the trash for their own fetish with being a fan of a bad team.

  14. Nothing to see here. Just Lane’s camp trying drive up the value of his new deal with Ole Miss, LSU or Florida.

  15. The Titans should be bringing in as many different coaches to pick their brain and to get new perspectives. College HCs, NFL coordinators, and former HCs in the league. The odds of our next HC being a college coach are probably something like .0001%, so nothing wrong with Borgonzi casting a wide net and talking to as many people as possible for what will be the most important decision in his tenure here. I’d be more concerned if the front office wasn’t wanting to talk to literally everyone.

  20. I have no faith in the present or future of this team at this point.
    Any sustained success of more than a year or two would have to just be dumb luck.

  25. All the article says is this:

    “One industry source said there was at least a modicum of interest in Kiffin among decision-makers with the Tennessee Titans.”

    So I’m not too worried about this. I would hate it too if it were to happen.

  26. This would be an excellent way to piss off the fan base. I’m here for it.

    The reaction from everyone would be worth it.

  28. I’m not a college football fan so I got zero emotional ties. If he’s a good coach, we should consider him, period. Vols fans opinions should be less than 0% of a factor.

  29. I don’t believe he’s leaving the college landscape. If he becomes the next Titans coach I’ll grill my UT hat and eat it on a hot dog bun

  30. This sounds like an agent decided to leak “Hey my client Lane Kiffin is getting some interest in the NFL!” as a means of getting some college like Ole Miss to be motivated to keep paying out the wazoo for him. I hate when agents use journalists and news sources like this but that’s my best guess.

  31. Feels like the standard “college coach threatens to leave for the NFL to get a bigger contract” to me
